Subject: [gentoo-user] Downloading packages from a txt file

1 Hello, a little while ago I asked this list for help with updating a
2 machine with no network connection. The solution was to get a txt
3 list of the package paths and then download them on a networked
4 machine with this command:
5
6 sort -u links.txt | xargs -n 1 -i{} sh -c 'for i in {}; do wget -c $i
7 && break; done'
8
9 This worked great then, but something must have changed because that
10 now only downloads about 12 or so files and then quits without an
11 error. There are a lot more packages in links.txt to be downloaded.
12 Does anyone know how to fix this?
